    I don’t think it looks good anywhere. After the next few days I think we will be starting over. The rain really takes a toll on it. Don’t be going out there, IT’S NOT SAFE.

    I didn’t want to say it but, its looking like we’re headed towards open water again. By this weekend there will be warnings out. If we hit 47 on thurs and get the wind and rain on Sat,……I got a 20 that says Mille Lacs opens up again.

    Yep, I will get the details tonight but a buddy’s co-worker was off this week up on the Pond. At around noon his wheeler went through to the bottom. Was able to save the portable though. Someplace out of Agate.

    I don’t think it’s worth the risk. I am changing my plans for this coming weekend.

    Shoot ‘n Release and I fished up there last weekend. There was 5 1/2″ of good ice, but you couldn’t drive a needle in my with a 10 lb sledge hammer if I were to try it this weekend. You can still goose hunt this weekend, do that instead.

    Wish I could be there to shoot some geese with you guys.

    Make sure Goosekiller, or should I say Goose-should have kill’d-er, finishes them off.

    Good luck
